Hey guys,

Had the meeting yesterday as mentioned.  Basically it seemed like a done deal by the way they were talking (he immediately showed me around the place without going into the "interview") - they said they would ring me on Friday after they had considered the position/pay.  I will be shadowing the guy for a couple of shoots and post production (getting paid normal "assistant" rates), and then get a rise when i am in charge of the studio when they are away.  I came to the conclusion that any work is good work for me at this point as it gives me experience behind a camera in a professional setting.

I think it went fine, i cant say too much as that is a bit of a breach of confidence, but i will say that i think i am going to enjoy the work there. And it will definitely be something to expand my horizons both in portraiture and commercial work which did seem to be forthcoming from what they said.

Thanks for the advice in this thread guys - it was helpful :)
